mind you that is and old picture, henry is still wearing the mist blue vapors , veira is wearing the euro 2004 preds and ashley cole is wearing the black/blue f50+
those were probably an old pair gilberto brought along:
here's a pic of makelele wearing the new ones, the different from the one gilberto is wearing in the team photo:
i have considered the possibilty of customized tounges, studs e.t.c and i have seen the pics of figo with the customized total 90 II's and III''s aswell as totti's studplate. but those guys are national hero's, one of the main face's of the brand (i know totti's left!) the 'beckhams' of thier team so the cant get that stuff.
anyway like the other guy said, gilberto is not a flashy player he sticks to the simple things. when he came back from injury he was still wearing the first colourway of the total 90 III''s
also consider the angle he is sitting at. the black line doesn't go straight down the boot, it curves.
what your'e suggesting is that they made a whole new boot for gilberto?
here's a pica of figo also wearing the new model.
as you can clearly see, the black sections are on the inside not the outside,
and the tongue is in the middle of the boot not off to the side.
